Upstairs down stairs Derek

"Upstairs Downstairs Derek" is an age-old enigma, an elusive phrase passed through generations, its meaning stubbornly out of reach. Is it a historical reference, a forgotten tale, or a nonsensical quirk? Scholars and linguists have tried decoding it, yet the phrase resists interpretation, tantalizing and frustrating in equal measure. Its mystery is compelling, a reminder that some things remain unknown, testaments to language's power and humanity's fascination with the unexplained.

Shairconic

A situation or action whose origins can be traced to the digital age.

If something is deemed shairconic, it is a manifestation of pure fail. The person who is being shairconic does not actually have to be wrong about something, but produce such a stupid comment, question, or exclamation that any observing bystanders must physically face palm.
Shaircon says "What does a mining drone do?"

"Where do I find rails for my railgun?"

"I killed three out of four players before I blew up!" (When actually fighting four crappy NPC's that are in no way preventing your escape)

All are examples of being shairconic
